Enjoyed it - although the Deaf heroine is described on the back cover as knowing "she was fit to be no man's wife", it seemed a pretty realistic portrayal of how deafness was perceived in that time period (not just as a burden, but as proof of idiocy and/or moral weakness) and therefore felt more true. The hero, of course, has to be blackmailed into courting her, but there's a plot, at least... the story isn't all about this Girl Who Is Deaf, which is a nice change from some of the other crap I've been reading just lately. Liked it.
